Yellow Ribbon Information

Participation in the Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program (Yellow Ribbon Program) varies by academic program.

Veterans in Chicago campus programs who are eligible for 100% of the Post 9-11 GI Bill may click the links below for Yellow Ribbon policies of participating schools in the 2011-12 academic year. VA regulations state that students must exhaust their full Post 9-11 GI Bill benefit for the academic year ($17,500) before any Yellow Ribbon funding will be paid. The VA must provide their match in order for a student to be eligible for Yellow Ribbon funds through Northwestern University.  Please note that Active duty personnel are not eligible to participate in the Yellow Ribbon program per VA regulation:

Any Chicago campus program not listed above does not currently participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program for the 2011-12 academic year. Students in programs based on the Evanston campus should contact their program directly to determine if they participate in the Yellow Ribbon program.
